For me the saddest part isn't when Bambi's mother dies, but when Bambi's father tells him that his mother is never coming back. For me that is when the death becomes real and the sense of loss sinks in. It's a very quiet and melancholy scene, but also sweet because it's the first time that Bambi's father shows any kind of sympathy or affection towards him.

Out of all of the Disney movies, Bambi has always been my favorite, even as a kid. As a kid, surrounded by loud and bombastic cartoons, Bambi was always different: quiet, respectful, humble, atmospheric, patient, empathetic, and mature. This movie is almost *eighty* years old and it is still holds up magnificently. This is a hot take, but I think that this is Walt Disney’s magnum opus.

They going to make Live A Bambi for 'modern' audiences . How ? I'm guessing for starters they are going to make Flower (The Skunk) Gay , Then the father will die instead of the mother cause mother die is Classic Disney, Then bambi mother is going to rule the forest cause she's a strong independent female. The hunter wasn't seen before but it will be shown to be a grizzly masculine White male.Oh the wise Owl probably some crass black female voice . ..

One thing I only noticed as an adult: when Bambi is separated from his mother during that first encounter with Man, and he's calling "Mother!" they somehow made his voice sound just the way a fawn's does when it's bleating in distress. How many of us would even THINK to do that? They REALLY cared about this movie.

[@CnaDoCna]

I don't think it was intentional this time 😅. Just the voice of a human child sounds similar to that of a fawn and vice versa

[@Dragonrose36]

I can explain the Prince thing. If you read the book by Felix Salten, ALL the male deer are referred to as "Prince." What sets Bambi's father apart is that he is the GREAT Prince, the leader of the herd.

[@lumiauroras6741]

Also the thing about pheasants: they really do stay on the ground as long as possible, they scared a few times, because I was just walking with my dog and suddenly right next to me I hear their wings clap and then they're gone. That's probably another reason why they don't fly away right of the bat: because they are LOUD, like "wtf is there a helicopter next to me, what is happening?" Loud.

[@serafine666]

Oh yeah. Pheasants are such a good game bird _because_ they're unusual like that. They will refuse to be flushed; my dad has described having to walk up to one and give it a kick to make it fly because the bird staying on the ground makes it harder to shoot with a shotgun. Pheasants are also prone to trying to sneak passed by sticking to the long grass and, as before, refusing to be startled into flying up.

My mom found out that she put Bambi and told both my aunt and grandma that Bambi’s mom dies. The next hour had them watching the movie, and had all of them crying. Oh I enjoy that story.

[@CPPpotkustartti]

In my headcannon, Hunter brought his adult sons to help with hunting. Some of them had more experience than others and campfire could had been responsibility of one of younger, more inexperienced member of family who was more excited of finally being part of hunting group that he forgot to douse the fire, that then burned their tents and equipment. He might have been one that shot Bambi as well. We see how good aim Hunter seems to have earlier, one shot one kill (aside first shot we hear that Bambi and his parents escape), but a near full grown adult Deer only gets scratched on open jump while smaller more nimble birds are being shot midair to death.

[@alyssabullock6421]

As an animal lover, Bambii is one of my favorite Disney movies. I LOVE how they keep it natural, and real- they add the reality of hunters and how the animals suffer and struggle from it! Everything was believable, while using a captivating art style and sense of emotion (Bambii vs Ronno in the first movie is SO good, and the "I Bring You a Song" scene is beautiful!!). Disney turned a simple concept of a deer growing up in a forest so memorable. I love it

[@shadesofjade]

My favorite scene sequence in this movie is the first time Bambi see stags for the first time and follows through to the first time man comes (that we as the audience, as well as Bambi, are cognizant of) to the forest. The song they play in the opening credits, “Love is a Song(That Never Ends)” engages as the GPotF leaves the meadow after making his grand entrance, the song is instrumentally played in the background until the point of ‘…Hope may die…’ before trailing off and then you hear the crows calling out a warning that man was approaching, and the the tempo picks up and everything turns to chaos! Truly one of the best (and underrated) conducted *and* animated scenes that exists in movidom ever!

[@VengeDracul]

Bambi's Dad reminds me of my Dad being very stern in his voice with out laying a finger on you. That whole scene when Bambi is shot and his Dad The Great Prince tells him to get up. The seriousness was on Point. Old Disney Vs New Disney. Old Disney out shines New with no problem.

When Bambi's mother said that man was in the forest and when the dad said his mom is dead. I heart wrenching as they are, it's so well done. You're hearing something the whole time but then there is an absence of sound and it makes your ears almost reaching it sound. In do so makes you really focus on what the characters lines are.

On a note about how they changed the story a lot from the original book. That is a common thing Disney did. You have to remember he was trying to create uplifting fare. A lot of old stories are actually pretty brutal to teach lessons to children. And this tendency carries on to this day. The Fox and the Hound, was absolutely NOTHING like the book. Heck that one was so different that they should have saved money and done the movie as it was done and they would have been okay. Even the Little Mermaid was drastically different from the original story.

I've enjoyed Bambi since I was a child in the 70's. Back in 75 Disney re-released it in theaters, I was 6 at the time. Yep, wasn't a dry eye in the theater when Bambi's mother died. Back when they made Bambi, and many other animations during that time, the background was on separate movable plates of clear glass with the painted scene on them. Each plate was separated with some distance between them and could be moved closer and farther apart, with the animation on one or more plates, then captured on film. A very time consuming process, but it gave correct fore, middle, and background and a depth to a 2D image on those early films.

[@UltraGalaxyify]

What I love most about the movie is how it depicts Man. Man is never seen in this movie, we never see actual humans. Man is treated by the forest dwellers as more like an elemental force, like a force of nature than a living creature: Where Man goes, Death follows. Even when the hunting dogs are released, they don't act like the other animals in the forest, they act like an extension of Man as they persistently, almost mindlessly save for Man's will, pursue the other animals(in this case Faline).

In 1966 I read the book of Bambi.I was eleven. I saw the movie the same year, with my father and my brothers. Much of Felix Salten's story was not used. IMHO the best scene in the book was in the next-to-last chapter when Bambi and his father are standing next to the body of a dead hunter.(It is implied that Bambi's father killed the hunter.) The Great Prince tells his son,"See,Bambi? He is not really all-powerful. He isn't above us. He's just like we are. He can be killed just like we can." Bambi realizes that,"there is Another who is over us all." Then the Great Prince goes somewhere to die and leaves Bambi as the new leader.

Apparently Walt wanted to add that part, with Man getting karma for the fire they started, but test audiences shot up at the sight of the hunter's charred corpse.

One thing I realized as I grew up and was old enough to know is that Bambi's mother was illegally hunted..When Doe's are giving birth and raising fawns at their yearly times they aren't to be hunted as they obviously COULD have a defenseless baby with them that'll die without mom, to hunt doe's you do it at very specific times and you need very specific tags to do so which are limited or even unavailable. I actually love the conflict in the sequel where Bambi has to fight for his girl! Deer naturally when wanting to mate the same female with fight and the winner gets to take her, so it was accurate, and why not make it the only other male deer we're seen of their age that didn't like Bambi before?

[@saintsheepy6682]

It's hard to believe that this film is now 80 years old, it hasn't aged a day, it's one of the reason that deer are a favorite animal of mine, and I think it actually does the whole Circle of Life thing better than The Lion King. The only flaw I think with the film is that I think it's a bit too short and could have been a bit longer (maybe have the same runtime as Snow White or Pinocchio, and some deleted scenes like one where Bambi meets Faline again in winter should have been kept). The book is very good but it's very bloody and gorey. Never saw Bambi II but heard it's surprisingly good. I shudder to even believe that Disney wants to do a pointless remake of this masterpiece though (although considering most everyone's forgotten that the abysmal _Pinocchio_ remake exists three months after its release, it might be the same for the remake too), I'd rather get gored by an angry buck than see any remake.

[@crashzone6600]

@@StoriesbyIrish ok as you say, lot of people focus on that it is a bad rendition of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale. Disney didn't do a good job, and we believe it teaches children a bad lesson. You can think otherwise but your opinion doesn't matter.

I watched this when I was 5 with my Dad. All he could do was complain about the incompetence and the unprofessional behavior of the hunters. I took notes. I said, “Daddy, when can we go hunting?” He was a proud father. 15 yrs later I finally got that deer.

[@justadudeh3re]

I remember when i found out the movie is based on an honestly pretty intense book.

[@cheshirewolf1574]

The only Disney my kids are gonna grow up with are these movies, I don't care if they end up as furies, it's a worthy sacrifice

[@firebrand723]

The perspective of the animal is why I have rules of hunting, 1. Don’t hunt babies or mothers during the baby season 2. Don’t kill an animal that is trapped or tied up to a tree or you just pay to shoot it, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, in other words disrespectful and having no sport or honor in it. 3. Always use what you kill, it’s disrespectful and wasteful to not wear the fur or salvage the bones or eat the meat. And if you don’t need it then give it to someone who does, and allot of hungry people would do good to have some nice lean deer stew.

Thank you for this delightful analysis!

We all cried to this at some point in our lives dont lie sbout it

[@youonlylikeonce9592]

Just watched this. I've also only recently discovered your channel over the last few days, and I really like it. I'm subscribed now. One of the things I really appreciate is that you feel inclined to look into things to find some deeper meaning, but you also place a lot of value on escapism and just having fun. It's like a dance, and I find there to be beauty in the balance. Thanks for the cool content, and keep up the good work. :)

Alteori, if you can, please do find and read the original Bambi novel. It's definitely something to behold and adds another layer to Bambi and the Prince's relationship. EDIT: whoops, nevermind... but still, there's a lot of stuff. it's a good read.

[@Das112293]

Very good movie, still have it on cassette tape. beautiful art, music and story. I enjoyed it. Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.

And also if you have a mother or a father tell them you love them and thank them for raising you and tell your siblings that you love them they won't be here forever and always protect them as they would and same thing with your friends

[@ritaandrunt5767]

I have always loved this movie even ever since I was a child even recently when I rewatched it I instantly remembered why this movie was one of my favorites to watch also the soundtrack for this movie is an absolute masterpiece to this day It still is one of my favorite movie soundtracks

[@hooman9629]

As soon as you said snow I got goosebumps...

[@mobbs6426]

I'm just now realising how much of an insult the recent remake news must be to you

[@Dinosaur20000]

As a person who has loved Bambi for at-least a couple of years now, I can admit, it is the best Disney movie ever

[@AndrewSmith-xs1cg]

New bambi video makes this one even more relevant

[@unholyknight9704]

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple months now and I love how straight forward you are and it’s so nice how you break things down and explain thing. I loved watching Bambi, when I was young my father taught us how to hunt for food, and was extremely strict on how we hunted. Never to much and never take a shot unless it was a guaranteed kill and a swift one at that. I have the utmost respect for all animals. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@dynamosaurusimperious2718]

I remember watch this movie about a deer,and I thought was great & very deep. Also this was a great video on this amazing move and I wish y'all a great day.

[@solveigvan808]

Bambi is a mood.

[@savageratentertainment]

I loved bambi as a small child, it didn't really "scare" me more than it intrigued me of knowing how animals feel in the wild and the relationships between human and animal. and how they would feel and be with cute moments inbetween. it's a timeless tale that shouldn't be messed with!

[@alexbara100]

Wow. Amazing video as always. Things I never thought about the movie before or knew. Didn't know it was a book or the history anything though. I didn't remember past the part where bambis mom died though.

[@CnaDoCna]

Yea, I was weepeng watching even just those movie clips. And I mean not only the sad ones
